Taking a break

Good Morning!  I wanted to stop by and let you all know that we are now on our break.  We will be back again in the new year.  I wanted to feature all of our entries in our winner's post this week, but since our linky subscription was expired it deleted the few entries we had so I apologize.  I didn't know they would be deleted which really stinks, but not to worry you can still view all of our past challenge cards here:

Take care and we wish you all the best during this upcoming holiday season!

Our Guest Designer ~ Anu

Hi everyone!  Our challenge this week isn't as big a turn out as we expected, but there's still time to play along and we hope you will join us.  You are welcome to pick any DT member's card and case it.  The possibilities are endless!  

Our guest designer this week is Anu Ray and she made this beautiful Christmas card for our challenge this week.  She cased Danielle's card (see below).  I love the layout and I haven't yet tried this technique, but it's a wonderful way to use  up some of your designer series paper scraps!   

Your card turned out beautiful, Anu!  I love the mix of papers and the image along with your beautiful coloring is perfect!  You card is so nicely put together and you over all design is stunning!  If you'd like to see Anu's winning card you will find it here.  Thank you, Anu for being our guest designer this week! 

  

Anu Ray

My name is Anu and I am delighted to be the guest designer this week. I am a SAHM with two beautiful children and an extremely generous and understanding ( he is going to read this...) husband. I have been a crafter for as long as I can remember and a number of unfinished projects of all kinds can attest to that. I started making cards a few years ago and it has been a great hobby and an even greater stress reliever as we relocated to Japan a few months ago. It took a while but now I am back in my groove, so come and visit me at

For this challenge, I cased the card by DT Danielle in the ABC 49 challenge - Halloween . I changed the card from Halloween to Christmas while retaining the basic sunburst pattern. I had never tried making a sunburst card and I am glad to say it was sooooo...easy. I am sure there are many more of these in my future :)

 

Till then, Thank you and Enjoy your day.

Remember, there's still time to play along with our challenge this week, the linky collection will remain open until Sunday 12 noon EST.  To enter your card in our challenge please see the post below.  Have a great day! 

ABC52 Case any Past DT Member's Card

Good Morning!  This week we are celebrating our 1 year anniversary!  I can't believe it's been a whole year already so we have decided to celebrate by casing a DT member's card!

ABC52 'Case Any DT Member's Card'
Pick any past DT member's card and case it.  Be sure to let us know which card you cased!

I wanted to take a minute to let you all know that this will be our last challenge for the year.  I'm in the middle of packing and moving and this is just a busy time of year for all of us.  We will regroup in January and hopefully begin our challenges again.  We'd like to thank all of you who continued to play along with us every week!  I'd like to take a moment to say a great big thank you to all of the DT members.  They did an incredible job each and every week creating cards for our challenges and visiting your blogs!  We have the best group of ladies and I appreciate all they have done!

Don't have a blog?  No problem, we will visit your online gallery; simply use the keywords ABC52 for this challenge.  Below are our design team cards to get you inspired.  Be sure to click on their names to visit their blogs!
